DIY Advertising.

DIY Advertising. Also from Google, and Pud. Is this a way to bring classified-ad style money to web advertising (and us fledgling publishers), something more - or a nice side project?

FARK has recently added classified ads too. Anything that forestalls using banners is fine by me.

Well, some of them are banners - and there's already spinoff ventures.

note to self: add "WTC", "Bin Laden" or "smoke 'em out of their holes" for any future hope of generating discussion. :)

This link deserved a lot more love, owillis. I've been thinking about doing something like this on Cruel Site of the Day [self-link], because I've been rejected by a half-dozen banner ad hosting companies. (They may have done me a favor, because those ads don't even cover hosting expenses any more on most sites.)
